At first glance, you might think you’re looking at an Omega Speedmaster case, a Rolex bracelet, and a Tudor Heritage dial — all rolled into one.
But don’t mistake this for a “diss.” In fact, it’s quite the opposite. While the design of NEZUMI’s latest release may spark debate, there’s no denying that it’s aesthetically captivating, blending retro charm with racing-inspired energy in a way few modern watches manage.
A Retro Revival, Upgraded
Originally launched in 2015, the Voiture quickly sold out in its mecha-quartz configuration. Now, seven years later, NEZUMI STUDIOS brings it back — this time with a fully mechanical Swiss movement, marking a major step forward for the brand.
Case and Design Language
Let’s address the obvious first: the design DNA. The 40 mm stainless-steel case clearly nods to the classic Omega Speedmaster silhouette, standing about 12 mm thick (excluding the crystal) with a 47 mm lug-to-lug span — balanced and perfectly wearable.
A domed sapphire crystal adds a touch of vintage distortion, enhancing its nostalgic feel. Surrounding it is a matte black aluminum tachymeter bezel, whose crisp white numerals pop beautifully.
On the side, the pump-style chronograph pushers echo those of 1950s–60s racing chronographs, while the large, coin-edged crown ensures grip and usability. Completing the package is the iconic Jubilee bracelet, known for its comfort and fluid fit on the wrist.
Dial and Details
Now, about that dial. Some might say it draws inspiration from Tudor’s Heritage Chrono, and perhaps it does — but NEZUMI has clearly made it its own.
The dial combines two key tones: a creamy off-white base and deep graphite-grey sub-registers, the latter giving visual depth and contrast to the chronograph layout.
The hour and minute hands are broad and luminous, while the chronograph hands are thoughtfully color-coded for clarity. The central chronograph seconds hand, in vibrant orange, adds a striking pop of vintage motorsport flair.
Movement and Performance
Beneath the beautifully engraved solid caseback lies the Sellita SW510 hand-wound chronograph movement — a tried-and-true Swiss caliber also found in models from Tissot, Certina, and Montblanc.
Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offering a 58-hour power reserve, the SW510 is both reliable and perfectly in character for a retro-inspired mechanical chronograph.
Price and Final Thoughts
The NEZUMI Voiture VM1S.101 is priced at USD 1,436, an incredibly compelling figure for a Swiss-powered, vintage-styled chronograph of this quality.
It may borrow cues from the greats — but that’s precisely what gives it its charm. The Voiture doesn’t imitate; it celebrates the golden era of racing chronographs with a fresh, modern twist.
